Good, now that we are clear you ain't comparing the 2,please tell me where you got those facts about Toyota from.
So it was a failed relay that you couldn't diagnose on time ehn? And here you are making it look as if Toyota did you bad. I guess they should have put the relay beside the gear lever for your easy reach. Gazzuzz won't touch civics of some production years because of cramped engine bay but you don't see him yapping that the civics are all devil's wagon. tongue tongue
Who told you they are facts, i certainly didn't?

When you stop your car to take a pee and it doesn't start again, am sure the fuel pump relay is not the first or only thing you will think of. When your car stops on 3MB with gear box acting up, am sure the last thing that will come to your mind is water in the ECU when you didnt drive through flood or you didn't wash the car.

Have you seen the N50 fuse thread by Gazzuzz. Would you tell Gazzuzz, "So it was a N50 fuse that you couldn't diagnose on time ehn?"

You mean yapping like this grin

There’s nothing more frustrating than getting excited about fixing a problematic automobile all by yourself only to discover that the repairs required are well beyond your skills as a mechanic!! Nevertheless, there are times when the average DIY enthusiast shouldn’t begin to ponder particular automotive repairs and leave the problem to the professionals.

Here are examples of when it’s best to protect your vehicle and yourself by not trying to repair your car yourself.

Bodywork and paint – Repairing damaged body panels and applying paint is an expensive, messy, noxious, and time-consuming process. Between all the fumes and required training, it’s one of those repairs that specialized professionals are the only obvious option.

Windshield replacement – This is one of those repairs that all drivers dread, and it’s easy to understand why. The smart thing to do is to get a brand-new windshield professionally installed because the last thing you need is a leaky piece of glass ruining your interior

Fuel system fixes – Fuel systems have the capacity to cause headaches, garage fires, and even unconsciousness. Our recommendation is to play it safe and leave anything having to do with replacing a fuel pump, tank, injectors, rails, or pressurized lines for professionals to handle.

Snapped coil springs – Always under extreme pressure and strong enough to kill a full-grown man, the springs on a car are tightly wound mouse traps. There are dangers and risks associated with swapping springs and it’s best to let a trainer and skilled mechanic do his thing.

AC system restoration – The number of parts requiring replacement on a modern vehicle when an AC compressor locks-up is staggering. Once that crucial component seizes up, it will more than likely send tiny shards of metal through every inch of the system, meaning every line and fitting needs to be replaced along with the condenser, evaporator, compressor, and various other items. It’s expensive, time-consuming, and dangerous, and a task that even trained professionals may dread doing.

Brake plumbing and reservoir replacement – Even the small stuff, like replacing your brake pads and rotors can put you in dangerous territory really quick. Being able to stop safer than when you started is the reason we bleed brakes and upgrade pads and rotors with aftermarket options, but things don’t always go according to plan. So when something like a master cylinder or a line rusts in half, it’s usually best to take your car to a shop for repairs in order for everything to be flared and fixed properly.

Defective airbag fixes – This last warning should be a bit obvious, but that doesn’t stop people from trying to swap out detonated or defective airbags on their own. Unplugging everything properly and removing the old unit is one thing; fitting in the fresh airbag can be a completely different story. While these kinds of repairs may save you money (when not covered under warranty or recall), relying upon trained professionals will provide you both with peace of mind and factory fitment without all the headaches.

Just as you made biased assumptions in property, its obvious you are making another biased assumption here.

I am disappointed in Buhari but not enough to support Atiku who i believe is like jumping from frying pan to fire.

Big daddy that if Keke/okada jam any of the side mirrors, e don break be that grin grin
If you ever dreamed you rode a better accord 05 in this life, it would be mine that your dream was pointing you to. But please, dream on grin grin
Please do drive a different car, change is the only constant thing in life. Don't be dogmatic. Henceforth I'm going to be productive with my time. Ciao

You're disappointed in Buhari but choose to remain in the heat and watch the country wallow in abject poverty?
Sometimes I just don't understand how baba go-slow's supporters reason. The worst thing I ever did in my life was campaign massively for Buhari against Johnathan. May Jehovah nna forgive me for that iberiberisim.
Oya let's derail the thread further grin.

We all did regret making that choice, however, my regret is not an excuse for me to make yet another mistake in voting Atiku. Even when we voted Buhari, we knew we were choosing between the devil and the deep blue sea. We chose the deep blue sea and have almost drowned but faced with the same scenario, choosing a new devil against the deep blue sea is a no no for me. I rather hold on to the straw that kept us from drawning than follow the new devil.

Voting Buhari is a lesser evil than a person like my governor. I had to boycott the last elections.

It is a well-known American provider of car window repair, replacement and calibration services, as well as insurance services. When I bought a car, I decided to contact this company right away. There was one situation that I posted https://safelite-autoglass.pissedconsumer.com/customer-service.html but the company's employees helped me solve this problem as soon as possible.
